I thought about that, but I thought maybe enough people here had tried it to help me out. You know, more eyes and all that. I also wasn't sure if I'd get a reply from you.

I did, yes. I wasn't quite sure what your original documentation meant, but I reasoned you were saying to do what you said to do above. Specifically, this is what I have: MAILMAN_MIMEDEFANG A bunch of text MAILMAN_MIMEDEFANG Let me back track a bit. When the attachment garbage started to be reported, I looked into the issue. I found a bunch of posts on this list, and random websites explaining what was going on. Eventually I found your code. However, before I put in mimedefang and your solution, I deleted the entire footer because I reasoned with no footer, Outlook wouldn't get confused and show an attachment. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Emails still had the attachment - enter confusion. That's when I put in your solution. Which still didn't work - further confusion. A few minutes ago I deleted the MAILMAN_MIMEDEFANG lines, but left mimedefang running. Now Outlook users are reporting the attachment is gone. WTH?! I've seen some warnings in the mail log about not being able to see the mimedefang socket. I think it's because the /var/spool/MIMEDefang dir is owned by the user "defang", and the postfix user has not rights to read the contents within (i.e. 700). I'm going to try running mimedefang under the postfix user. Maybe THIS is the source of the problem with the "MAILMAN_MIMEDEFANG" lines showing up in the footer. But, it still doesn't explain why removing the footer altogether before I implemented your solution didn't work.
